Unnecessary Misery.

Probably as much misery comes
from hsbitusl constipation as from
any arrangement of the functions OF
the body, and it is difficult to cure,
for the reason that no one likes to
take the medicines usually pre-
scribed. HAMBURG FIGS were
prepared to obviate this difficulty,
and they will be found pleasant to
the taste Of women and children. 25

THE NeocS says that thus far the
attempt to establish a Democratic
daily newspaper in Portland has
failed, and that a recent effort to raise
$1,000 for such purpose was unsuc-
cessful. Ten times that sum would
be needed to start it, and as much
more to keep it going. In starting
newspapers, as in other things, talk
is cheap"

There was u time when every ended year

There IS the sky: and Just AS faint and far
Swims through the twilight dceps the evening

And there the mountain juts into the night,
Mantlod with green, aud canopicd with white
Wnie wonder orb, before II sinks TO rest,
Slonts these long moonbeams from the darlscn-

There too, bird, upon o trees long limb,
Has built her nest without d thought OF him
Within whose grave the naples spreading root
Unawcd adventures to iutrudc its foot
Above whose breast the summers dcwy tears
Have lightly sifted for uncountcd years.
